saw your tags @did-sm1-say-catfish and yes, that link is broken! I looked into it, and it's because there are now multiple maps, including a map of India—

Here's a new link for purchasing purposes

Happy Pride!

[desolationlesbian]

sometimes I think too hard about like. how the ability to record audio fundamentally changed how humans interact with music. can you imagine if the only time you ever heard music in your whole life was when you or another human being in your actual physical presence decided to create it. and 99.99% of the time that person was not a professional but just like your wife or your dad or your co-worker or church choir singing or playing whatever they happened to know. i honestly don't think we can fathom it

[desolationlesbian]

Everyone on this post making nonsense "WAH it must have been BETTER back then" comments is ridiculous. I have 24/7 instant high-quality access to Carly Rae Jepsen's entire catalog. Go listen to Cut To The Feeling and appreciate that miracle or get off my post.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

"i view romance as Friendship But Better" THATS EXACTLY THE FUCKING PROBLEM

Hey, what’s Winnie the pooh’s favorite color?

[taco-bout-a-shit-blog]

Yellow

[never-kill-on-the-first-dat-blog]

No it’s red because of his shirt

[taco-bout-a-shit-blog]

No, it’s yellow because he loves honey

[never-kill-on-the-first-dat-blog]

You have no idea what you’re talking about

hello there i'm a woman in a post apocalyptic society and i wake up every day with perfect eyeliner and zero body hair

[arsonistblue]

hi i'm a woman in an apocalypse who raids abandoned shops for supplies but i never need pads or tampons because i never have my period

[arsonistblue]

hi i'm a woman in a post apocalyptic society and this hunting jacket was my father's. he was a woman's size 4

[cityfaringcountrymouse]

I mean to be fair. You can straight up stop having a period because of stress. Or only have one every three months. Like for years. For high amounts of stress.

(What? No. No I don't know this personally. It's not like I've only just had my first normal period in eight years or anything because of life circumstances outside my control. No. I don't know what you're on about).

I would call an apocalypse a high stress environment.

Dragongirl kidnaps a maid instead of a princess by mistake; comes back to her lair after a hunt to find the coins and gems in her hoard have been organized into neat piles sorted by type, value, and kingdom of origin.

[anormaladn]

Her princess is a little special but she'll keep her around.

[dragongirlteeth]

WHUH??? THIS IS SO CUTE???

[catastrophic29]

Stratt: This is Dr Grace, he’s… not my assistant, some other word.

Grace: I’m her carer.

Stratt: Yeah, my carer. He cares so I don’t have to.

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

[aromantic-journal]

"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is

Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.

Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.

You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.

Sex is not what makes someone an adult.

Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.

Sex is not equally important to everyone.

You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.

You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.

Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.

The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.

Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.

[cazort]

i strongly agree with all of this. i want to make clear, none of these things are inherently "asexual" and embracing these things more does not make you "more asexual".

but there is often a strong association with these beliefs and people being asexual, and i think the reason is that being asexual (which i am not) forces you to confront many of the assumptions in our culture surrounding sex in a way that allosexual people are not forced to confront (at least as much)

and then when you question things, you come to most of these conclusions on your own because they make so much sense. they're common sense, and usually the only way people wouldn't believe them is if they accept arbitrary cultural attitudes towards sex without questioning

these ways of thinking benefit everyone though, and i think they are one of the many ways my life as an allosexual person has been enriched by having asexual friends and talking to them about sex and listening to their experiences and thoughts and attitudes towards sex
